Quickstart
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
This setup will run libmemif ICMP responder example app in container.
|
||||
Install `docker <https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation>`__ engine.
|
||||
Useful link: `Docker
|
||||
documentation <https://docs.docker.com/get-started>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
Build the docker image:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
# docker build . -t libmemif
|
||||
|
||||
Now you should be able to see libmemif image on your local machine:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
# docker images
|
||||
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
|
||||
libmemif latest 32ecc2f9d013 About a minute ago 468MB
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
Run container:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
# docker run -it --rm --name icmp-responder --hostname icmp-responder --privileged -v "/run/vpp/:/run/vpp/" libmemif
|
||||
|
||||
The interface will by default connect to a master interface listening on
|
||||
``/run/vpp/master.sock``. The example will handle ARP requests and
|
||||
respond to ICMPv4 requests to ``192.168.1.1``.
|
||||
|
||||
Continue with :ref:`libmemif_example_setup_doc` which contains instructions on
|
||||
how to set up connection between icmpr-epoll example app and VPP-memif.
